It's been a long while since reports first came out about the HumanCar, a vehicle powered by electricity and human rowing power, but some things just take longer than others. The design has come a long way since 2006 and the latest news is that the model you see above, called the Imagine PS, was recently taken out for a test drive.
Professor Charles Samuel Greenwood, the inventor of the HumanCar, went for a drive in the $15,500 street-legal, low-mass vehicle with his son Chuck. The car took on "several" hills (with four to six percent grades) at 30 miles per hour using power from both the driver and the battery pack.
Even though development of the Imagine PS is slow-moving, Chuck says he has more ideas in the pipes:
"We have a new sedan coming out - it's a big deal. Many significant items - for now the Imagine PS is rocking way more than we hoped for. It's fast and it corners crisp and clean."
